    Unconventional. Artistic. Passionate. Adaptable. These are a few of the words that have been used to describe me by my colleagues and clients.

    I have spent the last 15 years creating brands, developing them from idea to guidelines. From video producing to illustrations I've done just about everything.

    A short list of clients/agencies I have worked for: Rusty George Creative, Weyerhaeuser, Port of Tacoma, Simpson Door Company, Dash Center for the Performing Arts, American Cancer Society: Relay for Life, Labor Ready, Technical Glass Products, Puget Sound American Marketing Association, Bethesda Softworks, True Blue, Brandner Communications, Discover Books, Children's Museum of Tacoma, Northern Fish Company, Tacoma Community College, TAPCO Credit Union, American Fast Freight, City of Tacoma, Charles Wright Academy, Copic Markers, Absher Construction Company, Aeroprecision Inc., ChoiceDeck, SEFNCO, Totem Ocean Trailer Express, Roel Construction, City of Tacoma.

    My body of work shows both the breadth of my 15 years of experience and the depth of working intimately with projects from concept to completion. Extensive experience managing both people and projects, fluency in all forms of digital and print media, and a passion for excellent visual communication.
